Power Management Techniques

[Richard Skinner]

I'm new to power management since I really never had to worry about it.
Here is my setup:

Geode GX1-300 (Arcom)
XPe
Delphi 6
PC104 Analog/Digital Card (Advantech)

When Digital 1 is on, I'm scanning all the inputs at 5 times per second,
when Digital 1 goes low, My application saves some file information. At
that point I need it to into low power mode, however I still have 2 things
to do, Wake up if Digital one goes High again and also Wake up if Com1 Gets
Traffic (Requesting Data).

What is the best technique to use to accomplish this? Any pointers or
links?

Thanks,
Richard

I actually already have the GX1-300 up and going and the application is 99%
complete. I can't move this config over to my Development machine due to
hardware.

Hi Richard,

First of all, you want to accomplish this on Windows XP Professional with

same hardware configuration. Once this is done, its easy to import it to XP
Embedded in componentized form.

Hi Richard,

Nevertheless you can make test app so you can test wake up on port change,
etc.
Like your other question try SDK, DDK related news groups.

Also search MSDN.

Regards,
Slobodan
